Navigation Tip - Go Directly To Prices, Reviews, Map, Photos, Video & Room Rate Guide For Fairmont Mara Safari Club

A beautiful riverside location of lush forest vegetation in Ol Choro Conservancy with the Mara River curving in an almost encompassing loop is the site of the Fairmont Mara Safari Club. Its decor captures the ethnic spirit of Africa in the form of the gorgeous artifacts and beaded curtains that adorn the common areas of the sprawling lounge and bar-cum-dining room. But it also has rich undercurrents of the colonial era in the plush sofas, wooden flooring and elegant tables.



When not in the lounge, you could spend time on your dream vacation in Kenya on the deck over the river that teems with soaking hippos and basking crocodiles. Or head out to the swimming pool a few steps away for a cool-off plunge with a relaxed sunbathing session later. If you like, you can take a pampering massage in one of the spa tents close by to soothe sore muscles after your game drives.

Your game drives are wondrous Kenya safari expeditions aboard custom-built vehicles under the direction of a Maasai guide whose life-long experiences among the wildlife makes him a treasure house of in-depth knowledge that you can tap. You could view the Great Migration of the wildebeest, gazelles, zebras and elands if you were to visit Masai Mara in the months of July through October.



The Mara is also host to an incredible diversity and high density of mammals and more than 450 species of birds. Enrich your tribal tour of East Africa with an excursion to the nearby Maasai village where you can enlighten yourself with its cultural traditions and also glean insights into the medicinal flora you see later on your nature walks.

Also go on balloon rides (bookable via your AfricanMecca safari planner) for an aerial view of the amazing topography of the conservancy and the wildlife it supports.



Return to Fairmont Mara Safari Club for delicious meals that you can have in the dining section or out on the wooden deck with views of the river. You could also have your meals at the Boma, the outdoor eatery that reflects the traditional Maasai building styles that you had a chance to experience when you visited their homes. Enjoy meals cooked to your specifications to the accompaniment of lilting, live wildlife melody.

Later, you can tread over wooden walkways as you make your way to the tented rooms where you will be staying for the duration of your wilderness trip in Masai Mara. The fusion decor theme extends to the 50 tents the lodge offers you with their four poster beds with diaphanous mosquito nets that add a dream-like quality to the ambience of the tent. Some of the tents include a double bed while others have twin queen-size beds.



Open racks are placed in the tents so you can unpack for your stay while bush holidaying in Kenya but the tents also feature leather bound cabinet reminiscent of a bygone era while ethnic, woven rugs underfoot add a homely and warmly feel. The bathroom includes a basin and a curtained shower area. Bathrobes and quality amenities are also present for your use.



While each of the tents are set beside the river with private decks where you can have private meals served on your deck with only your loved ones for company to the accompaniment of snorts of hippos and the serenading songs of birds, fond memories to cherish on return of your unforgettable travel experiences with AfricanMecca.
